thanks guys
Since we're actually been in the LiPO game since 1996 and we went online with the FMA partnership a few years ago its my mission to bring LiPO's back to fair value good quality and true to specification performance.
In AUS and Sth Asia we're doing very well with our LiPO....probably because of the lower cost rates of shipping thus closer customers willing to try.

So rather than shipping LiPO to the USA warehouse and trying to guess inventory levels we're shipping all out LiPO from Singapore only. Our UPS rates are good and in the next few days we're halving the shipping rates of our LiPO so it'll be just as cheap as picking them up from the states.

We're sure you'll enjoy them along with the chargers you'll probably have the best energy system combination in the market

its my mission to bring LiPO's back to fair value good quality and true to specification performance.

Does this mean that it is not unreasonable and folks should expect to see 60C continuous graphs (1 minute full discharge) of the "Diamond Label 60C" packs and with no damage sustained on multiple such discharges? Sweet!

yes correct.As a consumer also I only ask that when I buy something I get what I pay for at a fair price. Not unreasonable right? So why would I treat my customers otherwise.

Tks Mark
Glad to announce the birth of my son today. JohnConnor was born.

Anyway had a great idea between contractions.
Hows about we get a range of packs from diferent vendors and put them head to head on our factory equipment. Say an average 3300mAhr cell? ~40C and cycle them.

We'd only be able to do them at a cell level due to the power limitaions.
But....you guys name the brand and we;l do them. It'll take time but I hope you think its independent enough

Your offer sounds good. The Gens Ace 25C packs, sky lipo 40C packs are two popular packs. The expensive Thunder Power 65C is supposedly the cream of the crop, and good for a reference.

I'm no battery expert, but in practice, and ideally for my style of flying, what I really want is a light and low IR pack that is efficient over a 5 to 7 minute discharge and good for 200+ uses before performance degrades, and can be charged at 2C five minutes after a flight, with a mixture of hovering/rolling harriers, and speed runs.

1. Light as possible.
2. Five to seven minute discharge from 5C to 30C with 98% of the energy used going to power the ESC/motor/BEC, and not generating heat in the battery. It would be good to have a standard curve. In my flights, I often take off verticle full throttle while rolling, come back do a couple of speed passes, elevator or harrier into some 3D, and repeat. A doc austin full flight video on an MXS would be a good usage scenerio to emulate.

I think comparing packs we should have the same capacity and C rate and them cycle them at full power charge and discharge then check for swelling and heat generation.
I fell no point testing different C rates 98% energy out seems really tough too. I don;t think anyone would claim that on a spec sheet

Would prefer to compare to the rating rather than other brands. 50C+ packs from other brands can't even come close to their continuous rating without damaging heat rise. It's my hope that the 60C Diamond packs can actually meet their rating. If they can, they go to the top of my list of preferred lipolys.
